Happy New Year to you and yours.

I’m currently working on my Christmas present thank you cards and thought I’d share a few of them today.

I’ve used the Beautiful You stamp set – one of the sets available come 4 January (only a few days more).

I stamped the image in Basic Black Archival ink and then used my Blender Pens and some of the 2016-2018 In Color Inks to colour in the images.

Once I’d coloured the image I cut it out using one of the larger ovals from the Layering Oval Framelits Dies. I then cut a larger scallop oval from some co-ordinating cardstock.

The background paper is in fact the 2016-18 In Color Envelope Paper. It’s thinner than the normal Designer Series Paper but there is no reason why it can’t be used for backgrounds.

If you would like to see more of these and other items from the Spring/Summer Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure then please feel free to come along to the Open House I am holding on Saturday (7 Jan from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm). There is still time to RSVP.
